After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Mavericks 101-89. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
